Had mostly good ones as I don't like crap myself . Had 2 more " bad apple " ones though and one of them is now 98% all original with 3 matching mags !?! Had no matching mags when I owned it and other issues to boot . I talked to Randall Gibson about it as it is listed in his book . He told me Ralph used to own it .That was my first Krieg and after getting the very nice-honest former Bob Breatherton 1940 #10092 it started looking scary so I traded it away as " MESSED WITH " . I reported that one and it drew an immediate rebuttal so I will leave that one lay . I bet the owner paid more than messed with price !! The other one was purchased from Scheels Hardware and sports in Mankato MN 2/2/95 for $1,200 . Early S 1310 all matching except mauser mag . Had the " fat " wood grips and was very slightly pitted in a few areas . I bought it because it was one I didn't have and it was cheap . Problem with it was the person that they bought the collection from [ about 20 lugers ] used naval jelly or something of that sort to clean rust off a couple . Well the S was one of them and it had NO FINISH on it . Same sad story on both of these as they eventually found their way to you know where . I see 1310 is not reported [ thought I did ? ] but it would have cleaned up pretty well as it was straight other than no finish . Anywayz now that I have cemented my popularity here I will go lay by my dish .
